After 23 hours of labor and 2-1/2 hours of pushing, our beautiful baby boy - Colin Robert Templeton - arrived at 3:15 am on Monday, September 24, 2007 - about 6 days earlier than his due date. He weighed 8 pounds 14 oz. and was 21-1/2 inches long. He had a serious conehead and lots of splotches, but was gorgeous nonetheless. Gran and Slim made the 11 hour drive out from Michigan in plenty of time to sit with me in the labor room with James and Nonnie and Grandad Templeton.
After coming home to our "mostly" done house, we still had a lot of work to do. Mom fed the very hungry baby while Dad, Grandad and Uncle Zippy painted the house around us. Gran helped out too with the baby and cleaning the apartment.
